Unable to get the game to open #9
Comments
Hi, for Windows 7 installation this problem is quite common, you might want to try this update package before installing https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=26764 |
Thanks for replying. I clicked on the link but apparently the download is no longer present. Is there another way to get it? |
Yes, check it here: https://web.archive.org/web/20200611094821/https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=26764 |
Thanks for your help so far, everyone. I think it's almost working. I've managed to get as far as the screen below, however, pressing the play now button results in an endless loading symbol appearing the top left corner of the screen. Below is what I'm seeing in the command line interface window currently: Gamesettings loaded: 133 setting sections loaded
Any further help would be great if anyone knows what I'm doing wrong. |
Hi.
I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this query, so sorry if I should be asking this elsewhere. I'm currently unable to get the latest version of the game (alpha 0.06a) to run on my PC. I'm running Windows 7 Pro and am confident my specs are good enough given I used to be able to run the game without any issues when it was still on Facebook. Attempting to open the game results in a command line interface window opening for a moment before it then closes, nothing happening afterwards. This is the first time I have tried to install any version of the game.
The most likely reason for this, I think, is that installing the game requires Microsoft Visual C++ to also be installed. However, installing this program failed as I already have it installed, meaning that my best guess for why I can't run the game is that I don't have the right version on my PC. Do I need to specifically have the version of Microsoft Visual C++ that automatically tries to install when first installing Raise the Empires?
Any help or advice would be much appreciated, thanks.
